    What do you do with the other half of the spring onions - or is this an appeasement to the Gods?

    Can the pork be substituted with chicken or beef in this recipe?

    @thebrightonion - I laughed out loud to! :) So is it half a bunch or quarter of a bunch or just how you feel?

    i wondered about the rest of the spring onions so threw the whole lot in it. Nice enough recipe but there is something missing. Think some fresh ginger would help. My husband does a better "chuck in what we have" stir fry.
